The book continues from the above, saying that Li Shimin was framed by the villain, angered Li Yuan, who was already very suspicious, and happened to report the Turkic attack at the border pass, so he escaped a catastrophe, and after returning to the capital, Li Shimin was puzzled, so he went to the Duke of Qi's mansion to find Chu Mofeng, in order to find an answer.

Looking at Li Shimin, who was like a humanoid mourner, the wine and food on the table were not moved at all at this time, seeing this scene, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but smile, stood up and poured a glass of wine for Li Shimin, and then patted him on the shoulder and said: "You can't understand this, didn't they want to move the capital at the beginning? If it weren't for our arguments, I'm afraid this capital would have moved to Fanzhou and Dengzhou." ”

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Shimin remembered the fierce controversy in the court about the relocation of the capital before the hunt.

In fact, since Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng led the army to pacify Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, the Turks in the deep north have long been ready to move, waiting for an opportunity to invade the south from time to time, on the one hand, to plunder materials, and on the other hand, to find out the attitude of the Tang Dynasty.

On the 28th day of February in the fifth year of Wude, Duan Decao, the head of the march of the Yanzhou Road of the Tang Dynasty, attacked the stone fort city of Liang Shidu, and the Liang division who received the news personally led the troops to rescue, and then the Liang division was defeated, only with sixteen cavalry to escape, Duan Decao saw this and led the troops to pursue, which coincided with the arrival of the army of the Turkic rescue Liang Shidu, and Duan Decao had no choice but to retreat.

On the 21st of April, Li Daen, the governor of the Tang Dynasty, was surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry sent by Jieli Khan because the reinforcements did not arrive, and the army was slaughtered after the breakthrough failed, and Li Daen was also killed.

In May, the Turks invaded Xinzhou with their troops on the pretext of helping Liu Heimin regain lost territory, and were defeated by Li Gaoqian.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in June, Liu Heimin personally led the Turks to invade Shandong regardless of his integrity.

On the day of Ding Mao (17th), Liu Heimin's old tricks were repeated, and he once again led the Turks to invade Dingzhou.

On the sixth day of August (the sixth day of the first month), the Turkic Jieli Khan invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty in the south, and personally led 150,000 cavalry into Yanmen on the seventh day of Bingchen (the seventh day of the first month).

In the court, Li Yuan looked at His Royal Highness and said slowly: "I still remember that last year, when the Turks knocked on the pass, someone told me that the Turks have always despised the Tang Dynasty, and if they do not fight and seek peace, I am afraid that it will damage the majesty of our Tang Dynasty, and I was quite pleased at that time......

Speaking of this, Li Yuan sighed and said, "Now that the Turks are knocking on the pass again, someone has told me that the reason why the Turks have repeatedly invaded the Guanzhong region is because our population and wealth are concentrated in Chang'an. If Chang'an is burned and the capital is not here, then the invasion of the Hu people will naturally subside. I felt that what I said was very reasonable, so I prepared to send a letter to Lang Yu and the scribe Lang Yu and cross the Zhongnan Mountain, and go to the area of Fanzhou and Dengzhou to inspect the places where I could stay, and prepare to move the capital there. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the court, the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qi Li Yuanji and Pei Lin all agreed with this strategy, and although Qu Tutong and others knew that it should not be so, they did not have the courage to admonish them.

Chu Mofeng, who was standing behind Li Shimin, thought that Li Yuan was going to discuss something big today, but who knew that it was this kind of bullshit matter, and it was also about the Turks. ”

Li Yuan's original intention was to save his own life and that of the ministers first, and after listening to Pei Lian's words, he couldn't help but brush his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to open his mouth to praise a few words, when suddenly His Royal Highness roared: "You fucking fart surnamed Pei." ”

Everyone looked at the voice, and saw Chu Mofeng, the Duke of Qi Guo, staring at Pei Lin viciously with his eyes wide open, and he went up to fight if he didn't agree with him.

I saw Pei Lin take a step back in horror, pointing at Chu Mofeng and shouting: "Grandpa Guo, above the court, how can you be allowed to shout in front of Your Majesty?"

"Shut up, you traitor, when Wen Jing died, I regretted not killing you, but I didn't expect you to be unrepentant and make a lot of nonsense in front of Your Majesty. Looking at Pei Lian, who was like a villain, Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand behind the court clothes, buckled the two darts in his hand, looked at Pei Lin and said angrily: "You asked Your Majesty to move away the civil and military officials and the emperor's relatives first, then if the Turks learn about it and attack the capital on a large scale, what will happen to the people of Chang'an? After that, how do you let the world and future generations evaluate Your Majesty?"

After a meal, Pei Lin was speechless, and Li Yuan, who had reacted, looked at Pei Lian's eyes again, faintly with a hint of anger, only to see Chu Mofeng turn to Li Yuan and say: "Your Majesty, I don't know which traitorous villain said in your ear about moving the capital? ”

It was the crown prince Li Jiancheng who proposed the matter of moving the capital, and when he heard Chu Mofeng's sneering at this time, he suddenly couldn't hold back, and flashed out and said to Chu Mofeng: "Duke Qi Guo, how can you speak like this to Your Majesty, do you want to cover the sky with one hand and not allow anyone to advise Your Majesty?"

I thought that my seemingly righteous and awe-inspiring words could choke Chu Mofeng, but as soon as the words fell, I saw Chu Mofeng stretch out his hand and point at Li Jiancheng and scolded angrily: "It seems that the matter of moving the capital was really raised by you, a waste, people like you really can't imagine that if it weren't for the old age, what qualifications would you have to be the prince, and the foreign invasion would not be trying to assist Your Majesty to fight head-on, but instead foul words in Your Majesty's ear with the intention of moving the capital, let me ask you, if the Turks invade again after moving the capital, where are you going to let Datang move again?"

Li Jiancheng was choked by a burst of words, and when he saw that his master was blocked, Wei Zheng coughed lightly and walked out step by step, and was about to speak to Chu Mofeng gloomily, but Chu Mofeng turned around, pointed at Wei Zheng's nose and scolded: "I advise you to shut up, you are not qualified to discuss the question of the Turks, where are you Lord Wei in the twelfth year of the emperor? According to my investigation, you had nothing to do in your hometown Huang County at that time, right?" But at that time, I was only ten years old, and I was already fighting against the soldiers of the Turkic Eagle Division in the Zhangye area, and by the time you followed Li Mi to Wagangzhai, I would have already taken the other side flower around to rescue the villages and towns on the border that had been slaughtered by the war. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Mofeng arched his hand at Li Yuan and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty knows that there is a secret passage from the Turks to the Central Plains in the belly of Shiluo Manshan Mountain?"

Hearing that there was a secret passage, Li Yuan stood up with a 'pout' at the moment, looked at Chu Mofeng and said eagerly: "What? secret passage? Why don't I know about this matter? Do you know the location?"

I saw Chu Mofeng smile and said: "Your Majesty don't worry, the secret passage was destroyed by the minister with the other side flower as early as the twelfth year of the Great Cause, and the minister also patrolled along the border at that time and confirmed that there was no other secret passage before coming back." ”

Hearing that the secret passage was destroyed, Li Yuan sat down with confidence, and then said to Chu Mofeng with a smile: "Since the Duke of Qi insists on not moving the capital, what do you think about the battle against the Turks?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is now an idle grandfather, as for the matter of fighting against the Turks, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has already had an idea, Your Majesty might as well let him talk about it. Listening to Li Yuan's words, Chu Mofeng raised his eyes and looked at Li Shimin, and then led the conversation to Li Shimin.

Hearing that Chu Mofeng mentioned himself, Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward and said to Li Yuan: "Enlighten your father, Rong Di has caused disasters, which have happened from time to time since ancient times. My father, with his own heroic martial arts, created a new dynasty, ruled the Central Plains, and had millions of elite soldiers and horses invincible, how could he hurriedly move the capital to avoid them because of the Hu people disturbing the border, leaving humiliation for the subjects of the whole country, so that future generations would laugh at His Majesty? That Huo Qubing was just a general of the Han Dynasty, and he was still determined to destroy the Xiongnu, not to mention that I was still ashamed of the position of the vassal king! I hope that my father will give his son a few years, please let me put a rope around Jieli's neck and send him to the palace. If it doesn't succeed, it's not too late to move the capital. ”

Li Yuan heard that Li Shimin had such a determination, and immediately agreed, in order to be able to tie Chu Mofeng, Li Yuan then said: "Since Erlang has this determination, I am also deeply grateful, and I also ask the official of Qi State to reinstate and help him a little more, I don't know what will happen to the public opinion of Qi State?"

I saw Chu Mofeng clasping his fists at Li Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, the fight against the Turkic dogs has already started since the minister's father's generation, and the minister must learn from the experience of his father's generation, cooperate with His Royal Highness the King of Qin to annihilate the Turks in one fell swoop, and create a stable living environment for the border people." ”

Speaking of this, Chu Mofeng said with an embarrassed face: "As for the reinstatement of the official, forget it, you now have a new military department book, it's not good to kick people down again, and the minister will continue to be the hussar general of the minister." ”

Seeing that Chu Mofeng was dedicated to the country and was so upright, Li Yuan immediately asked Wang De to draw up a decree, and then retreated and left in a crowd of congratulations.

Knowing that Chu Mofeng had risen again, and that Li and Chu were going to join forces again, a group of generals seemed to see groups of feats slowly walking towards them, and they all gathered around to congratulate Chu Mofeng.

Through the layers of people, Chu Mofeng vaguely caught a glimpse of the resentful look in Li Jiancheng's eyes, and couldn't help pouting.

Recalling the scene at that time, Li Shimin reacted at this time, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "I didn't expect the prince to really get worse now." ”

Who knew that Chu Mofeng took care of himself and put a chopstick dish in his mouth, and said angrily: "I didn't tell you some things, but afterwards the old man agreed not to move the capital again, which ruined that fool's plan, and he united with his concubines to frame you in front of Your Majesty, saying, 'Although the Turks have repeatedly caused disasters on the border, as long as they get money, they will retreat. On the surface, the king of Qin pretended to defend against the Turks, but in fact he planned to take over the military power and fulfill his plot to usurp the throne!'"

Speaking of this, Chu Mofeng looked at Li Shimin mysteriously and said, "What do you guess the old man said?"

"Father must have believed it after hearing it, after all, my father is not so at ease with me now. When Li Shimin thought of Li Yuan's attitude towards himself, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart.

Who knew that Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "The old man's original words were: 'The military power is controlled by Chu Xiaozi, this kid has always been dedicated to the country, and will not let anyone snatch the military power, the people can't, Yuanji can't, even you, the prince, don't think about it, so the people can't seize the military power and usurp the throne'." ”

Chu Mofeng laughed out loud after speaking: "I didn't expect the old man to have such a high evaluation of me." Then he changed his words and said softly: "If you ascend the throne in the future, it is better to keep the military power here with me, so as not to be taken away by unscrupulous people." ”

"Okay, then do you have a plan for the expedition, why don't you talk about it and discuss it between you and me?" Li Shimin nodded, still thinking about the expedition in his heart, and then asked.

"Eat and eat, I'm talking to you about it, I'm already hungry, hurry up and eat, let's go back to the study to discuss." When Chu Mofeng heard this, he hurriedly poured himself a glass of wine, and then ignored Li Shimin, and ate by himself, and Li Shimin on the side also started to move when he saw this.

It was the study of the Yeguo Mansion that was brightly lit until the early morning when it was hurriedly extinguished.

On the 21st, the Tang Emperor Li Yuan issued an edict ordering Li Shimin, Chu Mofeng and Li Yuanji to lead troops and horses to march from Fenzhou to resist the Turks.

Before the expedition, Li Yuan personally fed them in Lanchi. Since the Tang Dynasty fixed the capital of Chang'an, whenever there was an enemy situation, Li Yuan always ordered Li Shimin to go to crusade against the enemy, but after the war subsided, the suspicion of Li Shimin became more and more serious. Chu Mofeng, who knew this well, could not forcibly advise, so he had to implicitly mediate for Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son.

This time, the Turkic Jieli and Turki Khans led the whole country to invade, and the barracks were connected to each other to march southward, and for a time the northern region was full of nonsense, and most of the prefectures and counties were slaughtered and looted.

At this moment, it has rained continuously for many days in the Guanzhong area, the grain transportation has been cut off, the soldiers are exhausted from the march, and the military equipment is dull and dilapidated, and the hundreds of officials and generals in the court are worried about this. Li Shimin encountered the Turks in Fengzhou, and immediately set up a position to prepare to lead his troops and horses into battle.

On the twelfth day, the Turkic Khan led more than 10,000 cavalry to the west of the city of Fengzhou, and formed a formation in Wulonghan, and the Tang soldiers were frightened.

Looking at the dense army on the opposite side, Li Shimin said to Li Yuanji: "Yuanji, now that the Turks are attacking our army, our army can't show them that they are cowering, we should fight with them, you and I, as the princes, should take the lead, can you go with me to meet the enemy?"

Who knew that Li Yuanji said with fear on his face: "Second brother, the formation of the Turkic army is so grand, how can it attack easily? If the battle is lost, is it too late to regret it?"

Hearing Li Yuanji's words, Li Shimin glanced at him angrily, and said angrily: "Since you don't dare to go, I will go alone, you can stay here and watch me." As soon as the words fell, Li Shimin was about to lead his troops to meet the battle.

Just when Li Shimin was gathering his soldiers, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the camp, and the first person rushed towards the Turkic army array with his weapons.

Fearing that Chu Mofeng would make any mistake, Li Shimin immediately led the cavalry to chase him out, and when he galloped to the front of the Turkic army, he stopped Chu Mofeng first, and then shouted to the Turks: "Why did our country break the covenant and go deep into the territory of our country when we negotiated peace with the Khan! I am the king of Qin, and if the Khan can compete with him, he will come out alone to compete with me; if the Khan asks everyone to join forces, I will have to use these 100 cavalry to resist." ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Jieli Khan couldn't figure out the details of Li Shimin, so he just smiled and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Li Shimin immediately advanced again, and sent cavalry to tell the Turki Khan: "In the past, you and I made an alliance to help each other in case of emergency. Now that you are leading your troops and horses against me, why don't you even mention the slightest oath!"

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng on the side said to Li Shimin: "Why don't I know about the matter of harmony? And these Turks are wolf ambitions, and you tell them about the conditions? ”

Li Shimin knew that Chu Mofeng was quite disgusted with the matter of harmony, so he didn't speak at the moment and shorthand pushed forward again, preparing to cross a ditch.

Seeing that Li Shimin was easily fighting, and hearing his words about the alliance and oath, the Jieli Khan in the army suspected that the Tuli Khan and Li Shimin had other plans, so he sent someone to stop Li Shimin and said: "The king of Qin does not have to cross the ditch, I have no other intentions, but I plan to renew and strengthen the original alliance with the king of Qin." ”

As a result, Jieli Khan led his troops and horses to retreat slightly. After that, the continuous rain became more and more incessant, and Li Shimin said to the generals: "The Turks relied on bows and arrows, but now the rain has endured, the tendons and strings are relaxed, and the glue is not sticky, so the bows cannot be used, which makes them like birds that have broken their wings." We lived in houses, ate cooked food, and had sharp weapons, so that we could recharge ourselves and subdue the tired enemy army. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, what kind of opportunity are we waiting for?"

That night, after discussing with Chu Mofeng, Li Shimin secretly sent troops under the cover of night and heavy rain, and the Turks were greatly shocked. Later, Li Shimin sent someone to explain the pros and cons to the Tuli Khan, and Tuli was very happy and willing to obey the order.

At this time, I heard that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to fight, and Jieli Khan planned to fight, who knew that the Tuli Khan, who had already had an agreement with Li Shimin, did not agree, and the thoughtful Jieli Khan realized that it must be the Tuli Khan and Li Shimin who had made some agreement, lest the two secretly collude to give themselves a blow, Jieli Khan hurriedly sent Tuli and his Jiabitler Ashina Simo to meet Li Shimin to ask for peace and repair.

Seeing that the Turks had come to sue for peace, Li Shimin was overjoyed and agreed to their request. Ashina Simo is Jieli's cousin. Tuli then took the initiative to rely on Li Shimin and asked to become brothers with Li Shimin. Li Shimin also appeased him with kindness and made a covenant with him, and Tuli left.

At the same time, on the 23rd of Gengyin, the Qizhou assassin Shi Chai Shao defeated the Turks in the Duyang Valley. Later, after Li Shimin stayed behind to garrison the army, he returned to Chang'an with Chu Mofeng and Li Yuanji, but after returning to Chang'an, he found that Li Yuan began to alienate himself again. Later, after Chu Mofeng's investigation, during Li Shimin's expedition, Li Jiancheng got a lot of information about Li Shimin through Li Yuanji, and then passed it to Li Yuan's ears in disguise through the mouth of the concubine.

Lonely Li Shimin wanted to enter the palace to meet Li Yuan to explain the facts, but was blocked by Chu Mofeng, only to see Chu Mofeng say earnestly: "You idiot can't fight them like this, don't forget that their eyeliner is everywhere, and you? Yes? I guess you don't even bother to install eyeliner, right? ”

Looking at Chu Mofeng's eloquent words, Li Shimin sighed helplessly and said: "Now that the crown prince and the king of Qi have become hostile to me, if you want to insert eyeliner to them now, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky." He let out a long sigh.

Who knew that Chu Mofeng smiled when he saw this, turned around and took out a stack of things from the bookshelf in the study, handed them to Li Shimin and said, "I knew that you were not prepared, you put this away, remember that you can't let others see these things except yourself." ”

took the things handed by Chu Mofeng and browsed them carefully, only to see that the names and positions of some people were recorded on it, most of them were from the East Palace and the Qi Palace. Seeing this, Li Shimin raised his head in surprise and looked at Chu Mofeng and said, "This, these are all made by you?"

Chu Mofeng nodded and said in a low voice: "I have already arranged these dark lines for you, lest you fall into the wind everywhere." ”

Hearing Chu Mofeng's breezy words, Li Shimin excitedly stepped forward and hugged Chu Mofeng and said, "I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Who knows, but he was pushed away by Chu Mofeng and said: ", my country's duke doesn't have a habit of breaking sleeves, and the post stations in the country are basically our bright lines, as for the army, you don't have to worry, I will arrange it for you, as for the Wenchen, a few of them are showing favor to us on the surface, and I will find a way to make friends after I find out that I am not attached." ”

Then Chu Mofeng suddenly sighed and said: "Now only the spy from Changchun Palace back then I have never found out, since you have transferred all the people from Changchun Palace back, it is better not to let them know too much about some things." ”

Li Shimin nodded immediately, and left the Guogong Mansion with joy, and after Li Shimin left, Chu Mofeng suddenly said to a corner of the house as if talking to himself: "Haven't you found out who that person is until now?"

"Grandpa Qiyuguo, his subordinates have made some progress recently, this person is suspected to be Hou Junji, but he still needs his subordinates to confirm it before he can give the result. A low voice suddenly sounded in the air.

I saw Chu Mofeng nodded and said, "As soon as possible, you also heard it, the situation has become more and more intense, and time waits for no one." After speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair and said slowly: "You stand down, pay attention to personal safety, life first." ”

And Li Shimin, who received Chu Mofeng's assistance, quickly convened the people of Tiance Mansion to discuss the matter, and in view of the recent situation, it aroused the vigilance of the high-level of Tiance Mansion.

After the incident of falsely proclaiming his destiny, Li Shimin faced the danger of going to prison for the first time. The crowd then went on to analyze in depth: What if the King of Qin was really imprisoned? What if the crown prince and the king of Qi wanted to take advantage of the fact that the king of Qin was in prison to buy off the jailers? What if they took advantage of the fact that the king of Qin was imprisoned and disbanded the army of the Tiance Mansion? What if in the end the emperor listened to the villain's slander and sentenced Li Shimin to house arrest or exile?

Although the big Buddha of Qi Guogong is supported by the court, everything is possible. And Li Shimin must be prepared to protect himself in prison, even rob the prison or resist.

Gao Shilian has a close friend who has a close relationship with the warden. Through his friend Gao Shilian, he established a direct and secret relationship with the warden. After learning of this situation, Li Shimin asked Gao Shilian to give hundreds of thousands of money to the warden, and the warden was moved by the arrogance of King Qin and promised to serve if necessary.

On the other hand, Chu Mofeng began to be active in the army, because most of the soldiers in the entire Tang Dynasty were trained by Chu Mofeng when he was the head of the forbidden army, and Chu Mofeng has always made great achievements over the years, so he has a blind admiration for Chu Mofeng.

On the twenty-ninth day of the seventh year of Wude, two days before the arrival of the eighth year of Wude, Chu Mofeng personally led the army to the Valhalla to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in the battles over the years, accompanied by Li Shimin, the king of Qin. The prince categorically would not personally pay tribute to the dead soldiers, because in their opinion, soldiers are consumables, and they can be recruited again if they are gone, and when it comes to the reign of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court, and even a series of measures by the Duke of Qi Guogong, gradually gave these soldiers a sense of belonging to the imperial court, which could not be done by any previous dynasty.

After pacifying Luoyang, Li Yuan gave Li Shimin and Li Yuanji three iron furnaces each, and let them mint money on their own. Now, with the support of these three coin-casting iron furnaces, coupled with Chu Mofeng's own strong financial resources, he instantly attracted a large number of people in the army, and these people were personally recruited after Chu Mofeng's investigation, otherwise once they won over the other party's people, wouldn't it be worth the loss.

In the seventh year of Wude's Chinese New Year's Eve, Chu Mofeng, who brought his family into the palace to participate in the banquet as usual, slowly stood up and raised his glass to Li Yuan after a song and dance, and said something that shocked everyone present......

As the saying goes, wake up the person in the dream with a word, and watch the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet be in danger, and then watch Chu Mofeng use the wine to make an amazing statement, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
